Lance Armstrong - Livestrong Wristband - Adult

More than 10 million Americans are currently living with, through or beyond cancer, and you support each and every one of them of them by wearing a LIVESTRONG Wristband. The Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) empowers people affected by cancer. Since its inception in 1997, the Foundation has raised more than $250 million to support its mission to inspire and empower people affected by cancer.

For more than 10 years, the Foundation and its founder, cancer survivor and champion cyclist Lance Armstrong, have partnered with other organizations and dedicated advocates to make cancer a national priority in the United States. Now the LAF is taking the battle to fight cancer global.

And why am I posting this here? I'm a cyclist. I've never had cancer, but have had numerous close family members and friends who have been victims of this most dreaded disease, including my mother and my oldest son's mother. This is perhaps why I find Lance Armstrong's story and efforts so inspirational.

Years ago I read a book that began: "I want to die at a hundred years old with an American flag on my back and the star of Texas on my helmet, after screaming down an Alpine descent on a bicycle at 75 miles per hour." When I first read those amazing words, I found the book impossible to put down.

The book was Lance Armstrong's It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life, and if you read it you'll see what was the motivation behind the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which provides support for people affected by cancer. And yes, I'm one of those who wears a yellow LIVESTRONG wristband on a daily basis in support of his efforts.

I am a big fan of Lance Armstrong and I bought my first Livestrong wristband years ago, but this one is smaller.The first one I bought at Macys was made in Taiwan, this was about three or four years ago and the one i bought from Amazon was made in China. I have large wrist ,if you have small wrist then buy this one it is a little to small for me. The shiping cost is only 1.95.

Lance Armstrong achieved his victory against metastatic cancer with 3 years of powerful treatment and daily hard work. To help support other cancer victims, he created the yellow Livestrong wristband.

With help from Nike, the bracelet was launched in 2004 and became an instant, worldwide success. Money from bracelet sales went to fund cancer research - and almost 60 million bracelets have been sold so far. Considering that the National Cancer Institute's total yearly budget is $4 billion, it is extremely impressive that a single push from a single individual could bring in so much funding.

I'm not sure what the previous reviewer did differently - maybe he had other items in his cart? When I placed my order, it sourced the bralcelet from eGeneral Medical supplier with $5.50 shipping and handling. I really doubt you could get ANY internet retailer to manage to pay his shipping costs, packaging costs, employee salaries and healthcare costs and only charge you under $1 for shipping fees. Is $5.50 too high? It could probably cost me over that in gas to drive out to a store that carries the bracelet and drive it home again.

I love my yellow LiveSTRONG band. It shows my support for cancer research.

You people make me want to puke in your face!!! WTF are you thinking you pathetic pieces of crap???!!! $39.00 for shipping and handling for one single $1 bracelet???! WHATTTTT!!!! You are low. This is supposed to be for a good cause and here you are trying to make a profit claiming it's for shipping and handling when shipping and handling is only .49 cents. Heck, shipping and handling fees are never more than $2.99, especially for something as small as this bracelt. I hope you people burn in hell. Too bad there's nothing lower than one star because you deserve -1 star.
